"The content of the photocopy is not clear, the words appear to be fake, and the pictures are blurry." She said that if she bought a second-hand book that did not meet expectations, she would choose to return or exchange it. For the second-hand goods trading market, Zhai Huilin holds a neutral attitude, "If it is under the condition that the quality of the goods is guaranteed and traceable, the market will expand."

College teachers: Schools should create a good environment for second-hand trading platforms
Xia Yusheng, a teacher at Nanchang Institute of Technology, believes that second-hand commodity trading has become a major hit in the after-school life of contemporary college students, and there is great prospect for establishing a campus second-hand trading market. In the second-hand trading market, there are many problems such as credit cannot be guaranteed, poor website services, inconvenient operation, inconvenient logistics and other services, relatively diverse types of second-hand goods, and a large number of second-hand trading websites.
There are more and more items idle in the hands of college students, batches of dusty bicycles downstairs, large piles of used books, etc. As college students, we must advocate "making the best use of things and reusing resources." Schools and teachers should vigorously support and create a good environment for second-hand trading platforms.
Li Wangze, a counselor at North China University of Science and Technology, said that many post-00s college students around him have purchased second-hand goods, and he himself has also purchased second-hand goods. He believes that more than half of the reasons why college students buy second-hand goods are manifold, first, the economic resources of college students are mainly from home, the economic strength is limited, the second-hand goods are cost-effective, and the relatively low price allows college students to spend less money to buy the goods they want; second, the current post-95 and post-00 college students are more tolerant of the concept of second-hand commodity consumption, they take second-hand trading as a trendy way of life, buying and selling second-hand goods can not only practice the concept of low carbon, but also make commodities more sustainable in sharing. Let college students experience the joy of trading; third, the second-hand commodity trading platform is more and more perfect, making trading more convenient, whether it is an online App platform, group chat, or an offline campus second-hand market, flea market, so that college students can quickly and easily buy the goods they need.
"With the increasing number of second-hand commodity transactions, some chaos such as false marketing, transaction scams, and unsafe product quality is also accompanied." Li Wangze said that the platform needs to continuously optimize transactions and improve the level of supervision. College students should consume rationally when trading second-hand goods, maintain a rational mind, choose a reliable trading platform, look at the seller's reputation value and transaction evaluation, cannot covet cheap and convenient, use the platform or a reliable third-party platform when paying, and pay attention not to step on the "pit".
